I went to go see it and I really liked it, I thought it was really a great movie. I'm not one of the types who follow what people say or think. I'm someone who believes you can't really judge a movie from what other people say about it because that's their opinion. You might have a totally different opinion then someone from say The New York Times.But once again that's my opinion.

I've just seen Chicken Little and I have to admit that it was very entertaining, cute, nicely executed movie 
One of the best animated features this year. I liked it much more than Robots, Madagascar, much much more than Valiant and 2004 Sharktale. It was quite tasty mix of Disney formula with Dreamworks formula plus a bit of some special "Dindal" ingredient Quite good start for new Disney's CG era. Can't wait for "Meet the Robinsons"
